So honoured to have my research presented by my favourite and littlest colleague! Kynurenine pathway metabolites are promising markers for response to treatment in Alzheimer’s disease (as Atlas said) 🧠🥰
Atlas gave a great poster presentation on behalf of @JoelleMetri at #ASP2023 @ASocPsy Results from KARVIAH kynurenine pathway sub-study @RalphNMartins1

📢📢📢New preprint alert! CRUNCH! Is the scaffolding collapsing? Our paper argues that the #EEG #ERP 'P3 ageing effect' is due to neural dedifferentiation - not scaffolding or compensation. Check it out here: authorea.com/users/658562/ar…

📢 New #EEG paper alert! 🧠 We assessed how different #P3 components mirrored the skin conductance orienting response 📌 SCR ⬆️ significant stimuli and slower to habituate at longer ISIs 📌 5 x P3 components reflected different processes 📌 P3 ≠ SCR nature.com/articles/s41598-0…
